Rugby no Limit

What Rugby no Limit does

Rugby No Limit (Association Rugby No Limit, registered under French law 1901, SIRET 84429797800018) is a French non-profit association headquartered in Launaguet, Occitanie, that uses rugby — predominantly touch rugby ("rugby à toucher" / "rugby à 5" organized under FFR guidelines) — as a vehicle for social and professional inclusion. The association organizes its activities around three operational pillars: (1) Insertion No Limit, a professional insertion program for 16-29 year-old job seekers and RSA beneficiaries that placed 43 young people into employment or training through the FSE-IEJ co-financed Projet Emploi; (2) Inclusion programs comprising Projet No Borders (refugee and asylum-seeker integration in partnership with the Centre Départemental de l'Enfance et de la Famille de Launaguet since 2019), Actions Éducatives in priority urban districts and schools, and weekly leisure rugby training at Stade du TOEC and City Stade de la Céspière; and (3) events, anchored by the annual Rugby No Limit tournament at Stade Municipal de Launaguet (10th edition, June 26-28, 2026, 700+ participants, 80+ teams), plus a corporate tournament and the free Manger Bouger vers l'Emploi program run with APEC and NOVAPEC.

The underlying technology is intentionally low-tech: the core "platform" is the annual tournament and the in-person training sessions supported by a cashless wristband payment system, Weezevent-based registration and standard social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok). There are no proprietary digital products, mobile apps, AI capabilities or data assets disclosed. The organization runs on a 14-person team led by President Michaël Dejean (also gérant of event company Mode Technique), Director Maxime Rouquié and co-founder Nicolas Rousse, both co-founders of rugby media platform LeRugbynistère.fr.

The business / funding model is a hybrid of three streams typical of a French association loi 1901: (i) event participation fees from individual players (€38-48 per player by registration window), accompanying passes (€28), corporate entries (€65 per person plus optional €15 jerseys) and add-on cancellation insurance (€6); (ii) institutional and EU grants and co-financing from Toulouse Métropole, Conseil Départemental de Haute-Garonne, Région Occitanie, Ministère du Travail, ANS, OFII, FDVA and the European Social Fund (FSE-IEJ); and (iii) private-sector sponsorship and in-kind support from Stade Toulousain, Auchan, Adecco, Crédit Agricole, APEC and NOVAPEC. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The co-founder Mode Technique entity provides event-management services, embedding a related-party operating arrangement within the association's tournament production.
